ὀλαγμεύειν ὀλὰς βάλλειν

ὀλαγμεύειν· ὀλὰς βάλλειν, Phot. [full] ὀλαεῖ· ἐνοχλεῖ, καὶ ὀλαθεῖ ὁμοίως, Hsch. [full] ὀλαί,

A v. οὐλαί.

Grammatical information: n. pl.

Meaning: πέμματα, οἱ δέ σπέρματα, ἱερὰ ἀπάργματα H.; λαῖγμα τὸ ἱερόν (Theognost. Can. 9);

Derivatives: Cf. λάγματα (Cyr., Phot.), λαῖτμα θῦμα H. (cod. λαιτμάθημα), also as v.l. (cod. Ven.) Ar. Av. 1563 beside λαῖμα in uncertain meaning; thus also Suid. with many interpretations ( αἷμα, λαιμός etc.). Cf. (with ὀλβ- = ὀλϜ-) ὀλβ-άχνιον n. `basket for the ὀλαί' (EM 257, 53 [Syracus.]; on the formation cf. πέταχνον and Chantraine Form. 195; ?); also ὀλβάχιον κανοῦν. Δεινόλοχος H.; ὀλβακήϊα `id.' (Dor. after H. s. εὔπλουτον κανοῦν). ὀλαγμεύειν ὀλὰς βάλλειν Phot. with ὀλαιμεύς ὁ (cod. τὸ) τὰς ὀλὰς βάλλων H.; on γ λαίγματα ι s.v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 22. These words do not belong to οὐλαί (in spite of the suggestion of the gloss).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: No etymology. The variation λα-\/ λαι- points to a Pre-Greek word. So does the variant ὀλαγ- (Furnée 337) and ὀλβαχ-, ὀλβακ-. The word may have had a labialised l (lʷ), before which the prothetic a- became [ο]; but it may just have been - lw-.

Grammatical information: f. pl.

Meaning: `(unmealed) barley corns, roasted and sprinkled between the horns of the sacrificial animal' (Ion. since γ 441); Lat. mola salsa (on the meaning Buttmann Lexil. 1, 191ff.).

Other forms: ὀλαί (Att.), ὀλοαί (Arc. II^a). Cf. ὄλπα χὸνδρου τις ἕψησις.... ἔδεσμά τι H.

Compounds: As 1. member in οὑλο-χύτας acc. pl. f. `id.' (Hom.); οὑλό-χυτα τὰ κατάργματα H.; comp. of οὑλαί and χέω (s.v.) with το-suffix (cf. e.g. ἀκμό-θε-τον); οὑλο-χύτας followed in gender οὑλαι (diff. Schwyzer 439: for *οὑλὰς χυτάς); from this οὑλοχυτ-έομαι `to besprinkle with οὑ.' (Thphr. ap. Porph.). Also οὑλο-χόϊον (- χοεῖον?) ἀγγεῖον, εἰς ὅ αἱ ὀλαὶ ἐμβάλλονται πρὸς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν θυσιῶν H.; as if from *οὑλο-χόος, - χοέω.

Derivatives: ( ὀλβ-άχνιον (with ὀλβ- = ὀλϜ-) n. `basket for the ὀλαί' (EM 257, 53 [Syracus.]; also ὀλβάχιον κανοῦν. Δεινόλοχος H.; ὀλβακήϊα `id.' (Dor. after H. s. εὔπλουτον κανοῦν). See s.v. ὀλαγμεύειν ὀλὰς βάλλειν Phot. with ὀλαιμεύς ὁ (cod. τὸ) τὰς ὀλὰς βάλλων H.; on γ οὑλαί ι s.v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 22. S.s.v. λαίγματα; these words do not belong to οὐλαί as then the suffix α + velar cannot be explained.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: As in Arc. ὀλοαί ο can stand for F (Brugmann-Thumb 44; cf. δοάν = δϜάν s. δήν), we get a basic ὀλϜαί. -- Technical word without convincing connection. The comparison with ὄλυραι and ἔλυμος `barley' (s.v.) is quite hypothetic. Even more doubtful combinations in Specht Ursprung 114, 127 a. 146. - Prob. Pre-Greek; cf. ὄλπα in H..
